Egg, Zucchini, and Cheese Muffins Recipe

Egg muffins are my of the breakfasts I make most often when I know I have a busy week ahead of me. Not only can they be customized in a million different ways, they are convenient and can be grabbed as you run out the door. Much like quiche, they are delicious hot or cold. This zucchini and cheese egg muffin is one I make all the time. I like to wrap mine up in low carb wraps or smush them between light English muffins for an impromptu breakfast sandwich.
